“fansastic holiday”



“we had not visited this part of the country before and had a lovely holiday, the cottage was fresh and homely, clean and very well equipped with everything we wanted and more, it was really nicely done with stunning views a having the owners just next door was reassuring! there were lots of leaflets about the many local attraction and free wi-fi which was a hit with our 2 teenage sons!!”

“Everything in the cottage was great. Internet access was also brilliant. Everything you could possibly want was supplied.
The only downside for us was the lack of eating places - you needed a car, the local pubs were not up to much - so we chose to eat in.”

“This property is superb!!!”

“On arrival, the owner greeted us immediately (lives next door). Explained history of the Mill and gave us a brief rundown of amenities etc. If we experienced any problems, he was only next door and would sort things out. the property was immaculate; beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated - cant think of anything we required which was not there! We could quite happily live there. Mill situated on small hill with beautiful views. Very quiet, with Ludlow and other attractions close by. Loved it.”

David Keightley, Notts., June 2013

“Peaceful holiday retreat.”

“Had a short break at The Cider Mill in March 2013, on the weekend we had the heavy snowfall! Arrived quite late due to weather and the owner gave us directions to the property and waited outside for us. The property itself was stunning. A great mix of traditional old beams etc, along with modern interior. Everything you could wish for is supplied, we even had a couple of bottles of cider left for us. The surrounding area has plenty of places to visit, definitely go to Ironbridge as it is the most beautiful place. All in all, will highly recommend a stay at The Cider Mill.”

“I'm Longing To Go Back”



“We've only been home a week and I'm already feeling "home"sick for The Old Cider Mill.
It's an 18th century building, with lots of beams in evidence, but done up in a contemporary style, with modern wooden floors (so no awkward floor levels and steps to catch you out). The living room seating, and the beds were all very comfortable. The conversion was done in summer 2012. There are wonderful views from all windows, looking out on to the glorious south Shropshire countryside, and the cottage is surrounded by fields with ancient fruit trees in them and patches of woodland.”

Customer reviews

“The cottage was superb, everything about it was excellent quality. Had a good heating system - set appropriately for time of year. All fixtures and fittings were good quality and there was plenty of cooking equipment! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We're looking forward to returning later in the year.”

Ms Bell, Rhyl, March 2015

“A lovely barn sensitively renovated. All furnishings and equipment were of excellent standard and very clean. Our welcome was very warm and the owners very helpful. A perfect place and location. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.”

Mrs Dainton, Hitchin, February 2015

“A beautiful restoration and furnishing of The Old Cider Mill by the owners. The cottage was warm and welcoming for our winter break. The owner was friendly & helpful and the location was within easy reach of towns and a number of visitor attractions in South Shropshire. We had a relaxing and superb three day break, made all the better knowing that we had a superb cottage to return to after days out in the very cold January weather.”

Mrs Boucher, Bristol, January 2015

“Very comfortable, plenty of room and good quality fittings. In a convenient location and very quiet. Overall excellent.”

Mr Raxter, Hungerford, November 2014

“We have spent many holidays in the UK and we have stayed in many different cottages, but the Old Cider Mill in Caynham was definitely the best.”

“An excellent cottage, well furnished and comfortable. The owners were very helpful and friendly. An excellent location.”

Mr Harrison, Harlow, May 2014

“This is the best-equipped holiday cottage we have ever rented. It is very comfortable and in a wonderful location. It provides easy access to Ludlow and surrounding areas, with plenty of interesting places to visit in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The owners/hosts are lovely and friendly. We enjoyed watching the calves which has just been let out into the field for the very first time and spotting the local foxes in the early evening as they made their way across the fields behind the cottage.”
